Sippy cup question

This might be a stupid question, but, what do you put in the sippy cups at this age? Milk/formula? And do I slowly take away his bottles? I'm confused a bit. I want to teach him to use a Sippy cup but I don't know how to...well ... Execute the transition. :)

I was told by my health visitor to introduce dippy cup about six months but just put water in it . Do it when you start weaning , also use the cups that are free flowing so its easier for little one to suck and then when they got the hang of it use the none spill cups ;) hth if it makes any sense lol

I got the transitional Sippy cup. It says 4 + months on it. I was told that introducing it at 4 months is good for them. I guess I'll have to do some further research. I get so confused with all the different opinions.

They say that baby should be completely done with bottles and Sippy cups by 1 year. They should be drinking out of a regular cup. Not sure how realistic that is, but they said its because of tooth decay. At 4 months they are getting used to holding it and, with help, drinking from it. It should progress from there. I'm just reading about this. I figured if anything it's a good toy. :). It feels like a bottle's nipple. At least he'll be familiar with it when he gets interested in using it on his own. I'm not pushing it, but I want him to be comfortable with it.
